2015 Kia Soul - Overall, a great vehicle for its class.
Overall, the car had a great value for its class. I purchased the "!" trim level and found it to be a better vehicle due to that trim level having the larger motor. Although, even with the larger motor, the car was under powered.
Story
I remember one occasion, in spite of my issues with having a sun roof, parking during a rain storm, reclining the seat back and watching the storm through the sun roof. Very peaceful and calming.
Pros
With the "!" trim level, there we many pros to the car. I enjoyed the large touchscreen, which featured a reverse camera. I found the car to be very roomy up front and the rear seats given the size of the car. It also had very user-friendly controls on the steering wheel, on the touchscreen, and dash. The vehicle always felt very stable and controllable even while driving in harsh conditions. Being a music lover, I found the sound system exceeded all my expectations. It even came with a factory-installed sub woofer.
Cons
With the trim level I purchased, it came with the panoramic sunroof, which I did not want, but to get many of the features I wanted, I was forced to include the sunroof. So, I had to find another way to transport my kayak because there is no way to use a roof rack system. I also found that storage space when traveling with the family to be an issue. Even with the larger 2.0 liter engine, the car was under powered to a point where I worried it would be unsafe in certain situations. (Kia has since answered this by offering a turbo motor in 2018)
2015 Kia Soul - Great car! but...
The 2015 Kia Soul with the "!" package is a fantastic car. It is fuel efficient, comfortable, and has a great sound system. When it comes to handling there are three modes to choose from: comfort, normal, and sport. The comfort setting makes the car very easy to drive, while normal is just that, normal. Yet, the sport is great for a person who wants to "drive" their car. Sport mode provides plenty of feedback in the wheel. The car will seat five a little tight but four very comfortably.
Story
I get funny looks when I pass people while towing my trailer. Especially when I pass a big truck towing a trailer, and here come little ole' me cruising past in my Soul.
Pros
The car has good gas mileage. The "!" edition also comes with a panoramic sun/moon roof that is large enough for all passengers (front and back) to have a nice view of the sky. This edition also comes with a great sound system, Bluetooth, and navigation. There is ample room for cargo if there are only two people traveling due to the rear seats folding down.
Cons
Low on power. There is not much cargo room if traveling with four people. There is a major drawback if you need to mount things to the roof such as kayaks, bicycles, luggage, etc. It cannot be done. The entire roof is glass. I had to buy a tiny trailer to haul my kayak.
